Ingredients

½ cup creamy peanut butter
¼ cup soy sauce
1 tablespoon seasoned rice wine vinegar
3 tablespoons dark brown sugar
2 teaspoons sesame oil
1 teaspoon red curry paste
2 teaspoons freshly grated garlic
1 teaspoon fresh grated ginger
½ teaspoon sriracha hot sauce
¼ to ½ cup coconut milk
Lightly salted peanuts, chopped, for optional garnish

Instructions

Add the creamy peanut butter, soy sauce, seasoned rice vinegar, dark brown sugar, sesame oil, red curry paste, freshly grated garlic, freshly grated ginger, and sriracha hot sauce in a medium mixing bowl. Whisk until the sauce is smooth, and all the ingredients are fully incorporated.
Add the coconut milk, starting with ¼ cup, and whisk until fully incorporated. Test your sauce for desired consistency. If you want a thinner sauce, you will add additional coconut milk (1 tablespoon at a time) up to a total of ½ cup.
Use the sauce immediately or transfer the peanut sauce to a lidded jar for refrigerated storage.

Notes

This sauce has a mild heat level from the sriracha. You can adjust the heat level according to your preferences by adding more sriracha hot sauce. I suggest adding ½ teaspoon at a time until the desired heat level is reached.
To ensure a smooth and creamy texture, consider gently warming the peanut butter before whisking it with the other ingredients. This helps it blend seamlessly.
